Sabletek Brushes Long Handle

Royal & Langnickel Royal Sabletek is over 20 years in the making. The original royal Sable was a natural hair alternative to pure red sable with more body, snap and strength. Royal Sabletek is the synthetic alternative made of a proprietary blend of the finest quality synthetic filaments developed to replicate the experience of painting with the original Royal Sable.
The result is more control and precision in executing brush stokes, added durability in maintaining points, and constant edges. They allow the arrtist to lay down the maximum amount of color and follow through with longer strokes.
These brushes may be used with any viscosity paint, but work best with acrylics or oils.

When I read that R&L was discontinuing the manufacture of their sable brushes, I was concerned. I love the 5525 Royal sable line – despite the annoying amount of shedding. Didn't think I'd find anything that had the same feel, but I wanted to give the Sabletek line a try. These are fantastic brushes, great control, hold a decent amount of paint and, so far (3 paintings in 2 months) they are holding up very well: great shape retention, minimal hair length loss. Very glad I "found" these!

It is very sad that these brushes leave hair all over the paintings, :( otherwise, it could have been a very sweet brush-product.

I was not able to get these mongoose brushes anywhere else as they have been discountinued. I can understand why, the hairs fall out but once you crimp the ferrule they do not fall out anymore. However, these brushes are the best for oil painting. They hold the paint, the hairs are soft and go on smoothly. I think they are the best brushes on the market. The fact that a few hairs fall out are a pain in the neck but the cons way outway the pros. It is a great paint brush and am in the process of ordering more.

The Langnickel tend to shed hairs a lot, but they're still great brushes. Good for when you need control, and even better when you splay the brush hairs for a more chaotic effect.

Resilient brush. Comes to a nice point, and is helpful for glazing tight areas.
